Cindy Ladd Title: Building Big: The Labs Grade Levels: third, fourth, fifth, sixth Description: In these activities, students are given the opportunity t explore large structures and what it takes to build them. These interactive engineering labs give virtual practice with the big ideas of force, materials, loads, and shpaes. Real-life examples relating to the labs are show. Print and video resources are suggested to extend the activities.

Activities to demonstrate Force & Motion Title: Activities on Force & Motion
 * Grade Level:** Various (link provides beginning, intermediate & advanced activities)
 * Description:** This link contains lessons that demonstrate Newton's laws of motion in action. The lessons can be used as supplemental activities to use while teaching the concept of force and motion. (Kristin Pascucci)

Students will use an interactive model to build a model of the milky way. They will demonstrate their understanding of how to universe works together. They will show how the Earth is line with all other structures in the universe. This project also works with other content standards to create more balanced learning experience. Grades 3-5 (Sara Gonnering)[|Milky Way Model]

[|Newtons Laws of Motion] Andrea Pearson Grade level: 4-5 Students will understand the ideas of motion and force; describe Newton's three laws of motion; and test Newton's three laws of motion in a game of marbles Through this lesson the students will understand the concepts of forces and motion; and the structures and properties of matter

[|Roller Coaster Project] Grades 6-8, Team's of three to four will design a roller coaster demonstrating they understand force, motion, and energy scientific concepts. The students will ask a question or define a problem, do background research, develop a hypothesis, design an experiment to test the hypothesis, conduct an experiment and collect data, analyze the results, and communicate the results. (Pam Belongia)

[|Solids, liquids, and gases] Pre-K, K**
 * [|Winter Theme**]

Let the children play with snow to learn new vocabulary - absorb, absorption, thaw, melt, liquefy, defrost, soften, dissolve

[|Speed Challenge] Speed Challenge Students work together to collect data related to distance and time for hopping, walking backwards, walking (regular rate) and speed walking. They will calculate speeds for each task and solve related problems. Grade: 3 Mary Roach
